Draft Grade — Saints
Overall B
ValueA- NeedB- TradesB- FutureB-
Best value of the weekend goes to the Saints for Parrish: B.

Somebody in the 184th pick was going to get robbed, and it turned out to be the rest of the league. The Saints sat still while Jacob Parrish, the No. 124 name on the board, slid all the way to them, then sprinted to the podium. No fireworks, but a solid B.

For all the activity, edge rusher went untouched, which is hard to explain. They left with cornerback solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off.

The trenches got the money picks, top to bottom.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the edge rusher spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick9 Rnd1 Mason Graham
Nothing to complain about; Mason Graham went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick40 Rnd2 Nick Emmanwori
Taking Nick Emmanwori in the 40th pick is close to grand larceny; a safety that good had no business lasting this long. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick71 Rnd3 Elic Ayomanor
Nice patience on Elic Ayomanor, who had no business lasting to Round 3, Pick 7. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick93 Rnd3 Zy Alexander
You do not let a cornerback like Zy Alexander reach the Round 3 slot and blink. They did not. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick112 Rnd4 Charles Grant
Charles Grant at pick No. 112 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick131 Rnd4 Tory Horton
A top-tier wide receiver at a bargain, Tory Horton in No. 131, plain and simple. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick184 Rnd6 Jacob Parrish
Jacob Parrish in slot 184 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
